Freebies Of The Week:

CNN Election center -Follow the race to Election Day with the CNN Election Center App. Contribute to the iReport Elections Project and help CNN take the political pulse of the country. Follow up to 15 races and locate your polling center with the app. Then on November 2, get Election Day news alerts and follow race results as they come in.

CalendarShare -CalendarShare allows users to share their calendar events with their other BlackBerry friends. Allows couples to keep their schedules linked. When an event is entered by a friend the application will put the friends name before the event in your calendar so you will know who exactly is doing what.

How it works:

Both users must install the application, then one can request the other using their CalendarShare username. When you enter an event into your BlackBerry calendar the application will prompt you who you would like to share the event with, you can choose to keep it to yourself (Private), share with all your friends, or share with friends that you will choose from a list. If you have to update an event, that's ok, CalendarShare will send the update to all of the intended recipients so the information is accurate.

Don’t want someone in your friends list anymore? Just open up CalendarShare click the person’s name, and choose remove friend. Inside of the application you can also see the most recent entered events by going to the "Recent Events" page. In options you can set to have CalendarShare sync events on a recurring timeframe, by default it is set to manual only.
